Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have become parents for the first time.
The former One Direction star, 27, and model Gigi, 25, have welcomed their baby girl.
Zayn wrote on Twitter: ”Our baby girl is here, healthy & beautiful.
‘To try put into words how i am feeling right now would be an impossible task. The love i feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding.
‘Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine, & thankful for the life we will have together.’
He added a black and white photo of his hand gently holding his baby daughter’s.
Gigi posted her own announcement on Instagram, writing: ‘Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world. So in love.’
Some of her famous friends congratulated her on the happy news, with Kourtney Kardashian posting red love hearts in the comments.
Ashley Tisdale said: ‘So happy for you’, and actress Yara Shahidi posted: ‘Congratulations!!!’.
Mohamed Hadid, Gigi’s dad, said: ‘Congrats .. Jido’s heart belongs to you.. baby girl.’
Zayn is the third member of One Direction to become a dad. Louis Tomlinson has son Freddie and Liam Payne is dad to son Bear.
Gigi confirmed the baby news back in May during an appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
‘Obviously we wish we could have announced it on our own terms but we’re very excited and happy, and grateful for everyone’s well-wishes and support,’ she told him.
‘It definitely wasn’t bad news and we’re happy now to be excited about it.’
Zayn’s former One Direction bandmate Liam Payne sent his own congratulations to the couple during an Instagram Live, saying: ‘Also this week, didn’t really wanna leave it out, wanted to make sure I said something on my own place before I started getting asked about it relentlessly by everybody.
‘I just wanted to say congratulations to Zayn and Gigi obviously, you know, they’re having a baby.’
The model hopes she can ’emulate’ mum Yolanda when she becomes a parent, calling her mother the ‘best I could ever ask for’.
‘I love you beyond words…you are a superhero!!!!!’ she added on Instagram.
Zayn and Gigi first began dating in 2015 and have been on and off a few times before reuniting at the end of 2019.
In a candid chat with iD magazine, Gigi teased a bunch of things she would like to do once she turns her back on modelling – and having a baby was first on her list.
‘I think that as I get older … well one day I’ll start a family and I don’t know if I will always be modelling,’ she confessed.
‘I love the creative side of fashion, it’s so fulfilling. The people I work with make me so happy, I’m so lucky to be around them.
‘But who knows? Maybe I’ll take up full time cooking!’
